[sdetweil]

@bworch do

pm2 logs --lines=100

may be better without pm2 for debug

pm2 stop all
cd ~/MagicMirror
npm start >somefile.txt 2>&1

wait 15 seconds
ctrl-c

edit the somefile.txt

[bworch]

@sdetweil couldn’t get the txt file to show. how would I edit it.

[sdetweil]

@bworch nano somefile.txt

or whatever text editor you like

[bworch]

[sdetweil]

@sdetweil

I thank you for sticking with me.

[sdetweil]

@bworch ok, I suggest you run my upgrade script

see https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts

the upgrade script second pass with

force

instead of apply

[bworch]

@sdetweil which line

[bworch]

@sdetweil I accidently ran it as is, I then couldn’t find where to make the change. Sorry

[sdetweil]

@bworch

bash -c  "$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/upgrade-script.sh)" force

[bworch]

@sdetweil My VNC terminal when Black, is that normal.

[sdetweil]

@bworch when? whouldn’t go black

i use SSH never VNC…

[bworch]

@sdetweil that command you gave me did a lot of stuff then went black, should I force a restart on the pi.

[sdetweil]

@bworch it just ends and says upgrade completed

I ‘guess’

[bworch]

@sdetweil I did a force restart on the pi, and it is working on the screen, but VNC terminal isn’t picking it up, it just shows the pi splash screen. at least the display is working. Not sure why it isn’t showing on the VNC terminal.

[bworch]

@sdetweil I guess it isn’t working I am getting a bunch of lines like this

If you have any other ideas, let me know. I need to stop now. thanks very much.
